Periodontal - Preventive treatment and advice to protect your gums

The periodontium lines the roots of the teeth and contains the fibres that attach the teeth to bone. It is essential that regular gum maintenance with our hygienists and proper cleaning techniques at home are utilised to prevent bleeding, infected gums and bone loss which too frequently lead to the removal of otherwise healthy teeth.

Research is increasingly showing that gum disease is being linked with other diseases in the body, for example, heart disease. Patients with diabetes and compromised immune systems (often a complication of prescribed medication) need to be especially careful to have regular maintenance.

Our experienced hygienists have trained to provide the highest quality of periodontal cleaning and advice.
